ok, so i spent a few years tracking down the nature of concepts to my satisfaction and I think I succeeded, back around May/June or so. I wasn’t shocked that I ended up tripping over “ontological pluralism” as a necessary stopping point. I was glad to find it and see it serves the need. I can reconcile it with monism via a vagueness; blur the ranges and parts can seem simple. Or, alternatively, Intellectually I can reconcile it with monism in moving the “wiring” into uncrackable regions, leaving only the ontological pluralism usable as an “that’s as close as we’re going to get and can only speculate on the rest” Ontological pluralism is workable because our communications systems all lean on it, even when they declare a monism. So to monisms. (Information theory needs its copper wires as it were. Pantheism doesn’t have room for a dualism and by putting dualism “outside” of pantheism, negates a simple substance for there is now at least two: pantheistic “all comes from same” vs the philosophies that have different kinds (the neoplatonic basically but there’s others)) You need groups of different kinds, for ease of use and for emergent properties to have independent if stratified domains. Just don’t lose sight of the mixing zone. There’s a place where oil and water do mix even if it’s strange and you could built a universe out of it as a simple substance but it would unnecessarily complicate in the effort to simplify. Different ways to simplify.
